You need to have activities every week that focuses on new people finding you. This can be through content you share on your feed that can rank on the explore page and hashtags, collaboration with other content creators, Ads, IG live together with someone, traffic from TikTok and YouTube.

If you are not growing your page every week with NEW visitors and followers then it’s gonna be hard to get NEW people to view your story. That’s why it’s better to use the story to convert the ones who come and stay into fans.

Also when you interact with people and you have a story published they will see a thicker circle around your profile picture which also increases the chances of them checking out your story.
